None of his early speeches were anti-semitic per se. He blamed international finance for Germany's woes.

You have to remember that Hitler was Time Magazine's man of the year in 1938 because of how he brought Germany back from the worst depression of the 20th Century. It was a miraculous transformation and it's only natural that entrepreneurs like Ford were impressed by that.
